The thermosphere layer of the Earth's atmosphere has a lack of particle density and little thermal energy transfer. This layer is located above the mesosphere and experiences an increase in temperature with altitude due to absorption of high-energy solar radiation. The thermosphere is the highest layer of the atmosphere where space shuttles and satellites orbit.

What process transfers thermal energy through matter directly from particle to particle?
Conduction is the process that transfers thermal energy through matter directly from particle to particle. This is typically facilitated by collisions between adjacent particles in a solid material, which allows the transfer of kinetic energy.
How would density affect thermal energy?
All substances have a so called Specific Heat which defines the thermal energy possessed relative to water, which has 1 calorie per gram per degC.So it is the mass of the sample of the material that determines its thermal energy content, not its density.
Use particle diagram to explain conduction and convection?
In conduction, heat transfer occurs through direct contact between particles. When a hot particle collides with a cold particle, it transfers thermal energy. In convection, heat transfer occurs through the movement of particles in a fluid. Hot fluid rises due to decreased density, while cold fluid sinks, creating a continuous cycle of heat transfer.
Why do particles of matter transfer thermal energy?
Matter is needed to transfer thermal energy by conduction and convection. Conduction happens through a substance when there is a difference in thermal energies between regions. Convection is the movement within a fluid caused by hotter material to rise and colder material to sink and transfer heat.
What energies can thermal energy transfer into?
one energy that thermal energy can transfer into is radiation energy. It can transfer into that because of the electromagnetic waves.
What has lack of particle density and little thermal energy transfers?
stratosphere
How do atoms in a liquid transfer heat to nearby atoms?
On a molecular scale, thermal energy is the kinetic energy of individual particles. In a liquid, this thermal energy is transferred to nearby atoms by collisions; a high-speed particle in the liquid collides with a lower-speed particle, transferring some kinetic energy from the high-speed particle to the low-speed particle. When this happens with a large number of particles, thermal energy transfer results.

How is energy related to particle movement?
when a particle moves it rubs against other particle's causing thermal energy

What energies can thermal energy transfer into?

How is particle movement related to thermal energy?
Particle movement is directly related to thermal energy. As thermal energy increases, particles gain kinetic energy and begin to move faster and more erratically. This increased movement contributes to the overall temperature of a system and can lead to changes in state, such as melting or boiling.
What do you call the total energy of a particle in a substance?
Thermal energy
